According to The Korea Times, Kakao will localise the game for South Korean players and is currently working with more than 40 voice actors and actresses to get the game ready for release.

Its Kakao Talk mobile messenger platform is hugely popular in South Korea and will help NetEase put the game in front of its 40 million users.

"Tapping into the huge user base of the Kakao Talk platform, we can launch thorough marketing activities to Korean users and we feel this is our unique attraction as a game publisher in Korea," said Kakao's game business chief Namkoong Whon.
